Raindawg Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Drunk Ski-Team Member Pees on Airline Passenger US skier tossed off team over in-flight urination By DAVID B. CARUSO, Associated Press NEW YORK (AP)—An 18-year-old was dismissed from the U.S. Ski Team’s development squad after he was accused of getting drunk and then urinating on a fellow passenger aboard a JetBlue flight. Robert “Sandy” Vietze, of Warren, Vt., was detained by police at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Wednesday morning after arriving on a red-eye flight from Portland, Ore. He faces a federal misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Brooklyn. “Based on the information we have, Sandy Vietze is in violation of the USSA code of conduct and team agreement, and has been dismissed from the team,” U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association Executive Vice President of Athletics Luke Bodensteiner said in an email sent to The Associated Press on Friday. The AP’s attempts to reach Vietze and his parents for comment have been unsuccessful. The phone has been ringing unanswered at the family’s home since Thursday, when news of the incident was first reported in the New York Post. Vietze was nominated to the development team this spring after excelling as an alpine skier at the Green Mountain Valley School, a top ski academy and high school in Waitsfield, Vt., where tuition runs as much as $42,384 per year. He had been scheduled to compete on the national ski team’s developmental squad for the 2011-2012 season. A Port Authority Police Department detective wrote in court documents that Vietze told him he had consumed five or six beers and two rum and cola cocktails before boarding the flight. He said he passed out in his seat and awoke to find himself being yelled at by the father of a 12-year-old girl. The girl’s father told the detective that when he returned from a trip to the bathroom at 2:30 a.m., he found Vietze urinating on his daughter. The man described Vietze as “out of it.” The Port Authority initially told the AP and other news outlets Thursday that federal prosecutors had decided to drop the indecent exposure charge, but a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office, Robert Nardoza, said Friday that the case is still pending.

Off_White Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Ex-Cannibal Seeks Woman's Hand — In Holy Matrimony Jakarta Globe | August 12, 2011 Remember the convicted cannibal Sumanto? The Central Java man is hungry for love. “I've been yearning for a wife,” Sumanto, a patient at Haji Mustajab Mental Institution in Karanganyar, Purbalingga, told news portal Tempointeraktif.com earlier this week. Sumanto was sentenced to five years in prison in 2003 for stealing and eating a woman's corpse, an act he believed would give him supernatural powers. He was freed in 2006 after receiving several sentence remissions and has stayed at the private institution since then. The head of the institution, a local religious leader named Supono Mustajab, was vital in Sumanto's rehabilitation and psychological recovery. Supono taught Sumanto to practice Islamic beliefs, including fasting during Ramadan. “Sometimes he also goes to tarawih [the Ramadan evening prayer] at the mosque,” Supono said. For the past few weeks, Sumanto often expressed worries that no woman would want his hand in marriage. “The important thing is, my wife has to be a woman and she has to be religious,” Sumanto said. “She doesn't have to be beautiful but if she looks like Dewi Perssik, [indonesian actress and singer] it couldn't hurt either.” Sumanto's case grabbed headlines during his trial in 2003 and "Kanibal Sumanto," a film based on his life story, was released the following year.
